Me and K. were having a discussion the other day about life – as in, what ‘life’ is – I was commenting that there might very well be intelligent life on other planets, and that it was possible that not all life lived at the same clock speed i.e. a breath for a being made out of, say, uranium might take several thousand years. <\/p>\n

Actually, I was theorizing tempurature had a lot to do with the speed of a life cycle.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I checked the wikipedia, source of most knowledge, and it said this<\/a>. So I’ve concluded that none of this rules out, for example, silicon based life that takes several hundred years to move.<\/p>\n

Which goes to prove nothing. I’d like to think it demonstrates my out of the box thinking, but the truth of the matter is I suspect everyone thinks about things like this and I’m the only one who’s enough of a wanker to write journal entries about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
